In my thesis I present the influence of vulnerability factors on persons with experience of prostitution. The conceptual and theoretical framework consist of theory of Human trafficking, aspects of women prostitution in Slovenia, which also covers the field of coercion and legal framework in Slovenia. I will also write about the reasons for person to chose prostitution as profession and the factors of risk and trauma as a resoult of the experience of prostitution.
The research is qualitative and is based on experiences of people, who have experience with prostitution or have chosen prsotitution at one point of their life as a saource of income. I was interestet in the presence of vulnerability factors in their lives, from childhood, to the experience with prostitution. I was also exploring the experience of prostitution itself and the forms of help, provided to the people in prostitution.
Based on the analysis of the results I have concluded that all interviewees had a difficult childhood, which has led to the emergence of verious risky situations or vulnerability factors. There are a lot of experiences of violence in both the primary family and also later in life. All the participants were victems of forced prostitucion or human trafficking in one point of theri lives and they are undermining the absence of a choice in their life. They exspressed a high degree of lack of awereness of assistance, that they are entiteled to. The theme of prostitution is still a big taboo in our society. People are often faced with stigmatization and disapproval.
